[JASS] custom data in the tooltip

[cosmos]

Hi, I have an "ability" that costs gold, but the cost will increase everytime i use it. i have a function which calculates the cost (a + (a*b)) where b is the amount of times it has been used. a is a constant
In the tooltip i want to show the current cost of the ability. Is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately you can't change the tooltip of abilities (and anything else). You could make it with many levels - one for each gold cost.

If possible, you might want to base the ability off Charge Gold and Lumber, because this ability costs gold and lumber, but has no target.

okey
think i will show it as a floating text then, because theres no limit to the amount of levels.

Tip: Jass cant do something that GUI cant

Tip: Yes it can. Typecasting, locals, [custom] loops, use of many types that GUI can't, and the list goes on.
